Building your own computer lets you pick exactly which parts go into your rig. When building a mid- or high-range computer, you can build something better for the same cost or sometimes even cheaper. We'd like to see your dream build.

There are all kinds of advantages to building your own PC. You know what goes into it. You can choose where to cut costs instead of letting the manufacturer do it. And should something goes wrong down the line, you'll feel a lot more comfortable fixing it yourself if you've already gotten your hands dirty building the thing. We've talked about whether it's cheaper to build your own, ways you can save money when you do it, and where to buy parts. And just in case you're still nervous about doing it yourself, we've got a complete guide for you and we've put together some suggested builds to get you started.
